Happy Birthday Jake!

Hey Everyone,

Well first of all I thought that your card really was funny! Reminded me
of Max! We didn't really do anything for my birthday but we went over to
one of the member's houses and we had cake! And after that Elder Leslie
treated me to some pupusas at an El Salvadorian restaurant! Which were delicious! Makes me Miss El Salvador!

My hand isn't as big any
more! I got some medicine to make it go down. We went to change meeting
and when I was there it was soo big that it just felt like it was going
to explode! It was noticeable in person but it was really hard to get a
good picture of it that made it look as crazy as it was. Mostly was just
how dense it was!

When we made pancakes with the family we just made pancakes normally with the mix and, yeah,
they are a super cool family that we are hoping will get married! They didn't
have the syrup so we just bought it at the china man.

The amount of people
that we have been having in church has just been dropping mostly because
elections are going on. This last week we had 32 people in church...
The Branch is really small and right now we are mostly just trying to
get enough people to give them callings to try and strengthen the
branch. Lately we have found a ton of less-actives that we are trying to
get back in church so they can hold a calling. A lot of people have
fell away from the church because they didn't get a chance to be involved
in the church. A lot of people want to have the opportunity to speak in
church or even hold a calling. We also found a lot of people that have
read the Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants just because..
not for like a religious purpose... but just to do it. But we are hoping that
in 2 weeks we will have our first baptism! Keep us in your prayers!

P.S. and Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! Loved the E-Mails and the Cards!
